Hatteras Yachts is pleased to announce expanded distribution in the northeast U.S. through Boatworks Yacht Sales, a division of R.G. Ely and Sons, Inc. Boatworks Yacht Sales will represent Hatteras Yachts through its sales offices located in Rowayton and Essex, Conn., as well as Newport, R.I.

Privately owned by R. Grosvenor Ely and his son Clute C. Ely, Boatworks Yacht Sales has been a full-service new yacht dealership for more than 36 years. The organization has two commissioning facilities that will provide service and warranty repairs to Hatteras owners within the region.

“We are excited to expand our presence in this important domestic marketplace,” said Jan Boone, Hatteras vice president of sales. “We couldn’t have asked for a better partner than Boatworks Yacht Sales. The Ely family has established itself as a consistent, reliable partner of quality yacht manufacturers for more than three decades. Their strong repeat business shows that they value quality and customer service, just as we do at Hatteras.”

With seven brokers who average of more than 20 years of experience in yacht sales, Boatworks Yacht Sales is among the region’s most established dealerships. More than half of its annual sales are to repeat buyers.

“Our brokers are lifelong yachtsmen and industry professionals,” said Clute Ely. “We’ve won many awards and accolades over the years, but they come only because our team is passionate about easing every aspect of yacht ownership for our customers. We’re excited to now represent Hatteras Yachts because that organization has shown a long-standing commitment to these same principles.”
